mike1986 & madmaxx82 proudly presenting the most advanced Super-Wipe script for Samsung Galaxy Nexus!​

Why it is so special?

As most of you probably know, Galaxy Nexus doesn't have true SD Card. Instead, it has separeted space on /data partition (data/media), and it's visiable by the system as sdcard. We call it Virtual SD Card.

To flash anything in recovery, /sdcard must be mounted. Because we have no real SD card, /data partition with virtual SD Card must be mounted all the time.

You can't unmount /data partition in recovery unless you use -l switch. On devices with true SD Card you can format /data partition in recovery without any issues.

But not on devices with Virtual SD Card on /data/media.

Super Wipe script is suppose to be flashed in recovery. It formats data and system partition. So how is it possible to format /data partition in recovery,

while /data partition is in use all the time? And even if it's possible, how will I flash ROM afterwards, if /data partition (so content of Virtual SD Card) will be formatted? My ROM .zip file will be gone!

Well, we've found a solution. New Super-Wipe script full version will do the following:

Make sure you copied Android_Revolution_HD-Galaxy_Nexus ROM to the internal storage (your virtual SD Card)

This will work only with Android Revolution HD 3.0.0 or higher!

You need ClockworkMod Touch Recovery from here

1. Once you start installing Super Wipe in recovery, it the the first step it will format /system partition,

2. Special "command" file will be created in /cache/recovery/ folder to boot device into recovery OTA mode,

3. After recovery auto-reboots it will start running another script we prepared,

4. Now Android_Revolution_HD-Galaxy_Nexus*.zip ROM will be moved to safe a location (/cache),

5. Your /data partition will be formatted using mkfs.ext4,

6. Our script will now again create /cache/recovery/command file and auto-reboot recovery,

7. Once recovery will reboot, it will start automatically flashing Android Revolution HD .zip file in OTA mode,

8. After ROM is flashed, recovery will reboot and start booting your fresh system!

Updating

Hi guys.

Do i need to full wipe factory reset to update from 2.5.5 to 3.0.0???

Thanks

Liam
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
Yes, it's recommended. But for a try I flashed one over the other and haven't spotted any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cnrd:
how long time is the full wipe supposed to take? :-)

As it's been in the OTA recovery mode for like 15 mins now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
Well give it few more minutes and we'll see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cnrd:
i ended up pulling the battery, booting the recovery again, and it took a few seconds and started booting the rom

is there a way to have search button in navigation bar?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vanvn297:
i have random lost signal problem after update to ARHD 3.0 from 2.1.5

did a super wipe lite, then new bootloader, new radio for 3.0

without getting out of recovery, i flashed ARHD 3.0

everything works flawlessly, but signal is not good as before. some times it lost signal around 1 min every 2-3 hour, sometime every 5 minutes (phone in sleep at night)

are there any good radio for 4.0.4 for europe region?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadow_empire1:
These are the current european versions.

Easy way is download Elixir 2. Works great and lots of customization too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jaevlar:
If i want to revert back to another rom. Is it safe to flash over ARHD 3.0.0? Or do i need to flash an old bootloader+radio?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
It's never safe to revert back to another ROM! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
In theory any rom should work with any bootloader/radio. You should be fine.

Edit:

LOL! :D

So, 2 features, 3 files. I presume one of these 3 has both features, my question then becomes, which one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sebz4n:
Has facebook integration been fixed? Can I import my facebook contacts pictures now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigeyes0x0:
I had a few days of infidelity, then I come back, although it's pure stock, it's just work and smooth without rough edges. I'm using this ROM now with franco nightly 121 though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leelaa:
Could someone be kind enough and tell me how to get circle battery for this great rom? Nothing is working in that link.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Serious_Beans:
Signal is odd for me on this rom, using the same radio as before when I was on bug less beast and I'm not getting as good signal. Same place too. I'll try a different radio and kernel later tonight though just to confirm what the problem is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
I have not read all texts from 1st post, I flashed this ROM because I was using 4.0.3 Android ROM which was custom...the android update notification was bothering me so I flashed to this ROM..

Good ROM but I don't like the apps that is installed to this ROM ex: dropbox or what it was and I don't use Google + so can I remove Google + apps without problems on my Nexus?

Google music cannot be themed? I use CM9 music player but it's slow when I'm listening music, so does somebody know if Galaxy Nexus CM9 music player works fine with this ROM?

anyway... Nice ROM! is this ROM buggy as many other custom ROMs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
No, this rom is a tweaked version of stock, not compiled form source like most custom ROMs, so it's completely bug free.

If you want to remove standard apps, go ahead. If you feel brave enough, you can even remove them from the .zip file before flashing. Just be careful not to remove anything too critical or you'll run into problems.

The CM9 music player should work fine as far as I'm aware. The CyanogenMod team would pretty much have to deliberately sabotage it for other ROMs for it to not work, and I doubt they would do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
OK Thank You! but somewhere there was if removing Google+ then facebook does not work? is that fixed? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sebz4n:
FTW, why doesn't facebook sync still not work :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retareq:
So my upgrade notification error from previous version is not going anywhere. I'm thinking if I should try this new super wipe..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killbox:
Still can't get the android market to work. Have emptied the cache, but that didn't work. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
what Android Market problem you have?

sometimes some google apps does not work then it's better to flash other Google apps..

if adding other phone information text to build.prop then market does not maybe work fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leelaa:
when i install CircleBatteryNewStock404.zip i my nav bar and status bar goes and iam left in full screen mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lkal3:
Guys its exactly the same zip that uploaded before 3 days on rootzwiki or we have changes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retareq:
Which version are you on ? I tried stock 4.0.4 before I came here and I had issues with some apps in market, not all though. Now I'm on the previous version of revolution and everything seems to be in working order, except that nagging update notification.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
Small change but only to make it compatibile with new super wipe script.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musashiken:
Err crap. I'm doing the full wipe now but the 3.0.0 rom I'm using is the one I got from rootzwiki a few days ago.

Please tell me that works too.

Now I'm just seeing the android with the red exclamation lying down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killbox:
I get this message when trying to download apps. Even if they're free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
Can someone explain me if this rom includes stock 404 baseband,kernel,bootloader?

If not can someone explain me how to get back to official 404 rls of google?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knudsen81:
How long shall "Super Wipe" script takes to complett
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musashiken:
I don't know, I've been waiting for 20 mins already. All I see is the android lying down with the red exclamation mark.

And only just now mike said the rom here is different from the one in rootzwiki, what the hell? No warning or anything, now I'm afraid the super wipe has screwed up my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
This ROM includes stock kernel. Baseband and bootloader are separate, but there's a link in the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigeyes0x0:
The market is acting up again. It's not the ROM. I'm getting RPC error :D.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Have you wiped market data and tried again?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
Nope, you surely didn't screwed up your phone. First check ROM md5 with checksum in the first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knudsen81:
Here i have the android standing up and a bar down under, but i dont thing it's moving :-/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
Kernel 100% stock, ROM 4.0.4 stock, bootloader and radio can be flashed separetly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musashiken:
The rom I'm using is the one I got a few days ago from rootzwiki. I didn't know you changed it. So the md5 checksum is different.

So what do I do now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
If someone have issues for some reason there is easy way:

connect your device to pc and using shell type:

adb push Android_Revolution_HD-Galaxy_Nexus_GSM_3.0.0.zip /data/media

Of course rom .zip file must be in adb.exe folder. Once you do the command and ROM will be sent to data/media you can flash it normal way in recovery. But I was testing super wipe full for 2 days and had no issues with it if all steps were done correct.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
Remove the battery, adb push <rom name.zip> /data/local and flash it normally in recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] he_stheone64:
No, just 2 different circle battery options.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knudsen81:
so it dont take over 10 min. to do the script?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
10 minutes is too long. Check ROM md5.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musashiken:
Ok thanks, at least I can still get into recovery. Now I'm waiting for my download of the correct rom to finish.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knudsen81:
md5 sum is correct
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
Ok. If you had version from few days ago there is only one difference. That version doesn't allow to be flashed in OTA mode, so simply after data partition is formatted and recovery reboots for the second time, ROM can't be flashed. Today's version was signed in different way and it works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
ok and where did u placed ROM? was it on the root folder of sdcard?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knudsen81:
Yes but worked now, i took out battery and tried again, now it works :-D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
ok, glad to hear that! :) btw what recovery you have?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musashiken:
Ok great! Now super wipe full finally works. I adb pushed the rom and super wipe full script to /data/media and flashed super wipe.

It took 2 reboots and less than 5 mins to finish wiping and flashing. Thanks mike.

Though you might want to give a warning to the rootzwiki users still holding on to the initial 3.0.0 release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
I'm glad it worked for you as well! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
still running full wipe script, too

for me it started working, then rebooted with android roboter and loading bar, which goes up to 0,5cm and then stucks, and reboot after some time.

this loops for about 15 times now....

any ideas?

ps: i do not have any pc or whatever in my area here...

launching in recovery again with vol+/- power just gets me into this loop again

Flashing Issue

I download the 3.0.0 ROM and the SuperWipe FUll zip files. After getting into recovery and flashing the SuperWipe zip, the phone seemed to get stuck on a black screen with an android figure for 15 mins. I did a battery pull, and somehow the latest ROM had been installed. Don't know what really happened. But it's working fine so far. BUT a lot of the apps weren't installed. So I had to manuall install them like facebook, twitter, google maps etc. I guess I stopped the ROM installation halfway but somehow managed to get it working.

No worries! :) First try this:

fastboot erase userdata

and see if you can now format /data in recovery.

watch last 4 pages... i have exactly the same
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sandmanz:
The bar stays still for 5-10 mins, and the phone reboots once or twice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
If previous doesn't work do this:

1. Download this and place it in platform-tools folder

2. Boot device in recovery (if you can't go into recovery type this fastboot command: fastboot erase cache and now go to recovery)

3. Open command shell, go to the platform-tools and type:

adb push mkfs.ex4 /tmp/

4. After file is sent, type in the terminal:

adb shell

chmod 777 /tmp/mkfs.ext4

./tmp/mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -O ^huge_file,^dir_nlink,^ext_attr,^resize_inode,^extra_isize -m 0 /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/userdata

xda for some reason is doing [space] in "extra_isize" above, so it looks like "ext ra_isize" but must be used without space!!!

mkdir /data/media

exit

adb push rom_name.zip /data/media

5. Now flash ROM from recovery

And that should be it! :)

EDIT:

I'm quite sure those issues are cause by regular recovery. I tested super wipe hundret of times but using touch recovery, so I recommend every one update to touch version before using super wipe full version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
download what?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
sorry, link fixed now :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
thats what happens after flashing your file
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:

2nd step http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24409508&postcount=4563

No need to worry, you probably interrupted /data formatting process, so we need to remove that partition (step 1) and then format it (step 2) and then you will be able to make /data/local (step 2) and copy ROM there (step 2).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
k.. did step 1 (erasing userdata)

entered recovery - tried to format data

- Error mounting /data!

so i think step 2 can be ignored, coz it didnt work before
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
no no, do the step 2, trust me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
all same as before....

between userdata erase and push mkfs there was the try in recovery to format data without success

and again, not possible to install zip, coz sdcard is not reacable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
do you have touch recovery now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] definator:
yes, 5.8.0.2 touch gsm

wouldnt it be easier in skype or somewhat? we are spamming the whole thread

- download the original AOSP 4.0.4 (http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html#yakju)

and put in the directory C:\Galaxy Nexus ToolKit\put_google_factory_image_here

- after started the toolkit, i've select option 8 that install original Google 4.0.4 ICS

(ATTENTION new radio will be flashed)

at this time all directories are correctly formated an mounted (i think soo because phone started ok with google original ROM)

in toolkit, then i've choose option 6 to install touch recovery et voilá

now i'm installing Android Revolution 3.0.0 :D

just my 2 cents!

PS1: probably i've interrupted the /data formatting process somewhere, that result in this mess :rolleyes:
